Our Neighbourhood Community Project

Our Neighbourhood Network Connects people in the South Ward of Weston-super-Mare through shared activities and projects, we are supported by the Community Fund to use Asset Based Community Development methods to achieve the following aims:

  1. The health and wellbeing of the local community will be improved
  2. Local people will gain skills and quallifications which will support them to realise their aspirations
  3. Local people will overcome barriers which currently separate them from their aspirations
  4. Local leaders will develop the skills and resources to build on the project's legacy

Strong Communities are vital for a good life, and this community network will bring new life and love to the neighbourhoods of South Ward by supporting the connections and working with the skills and strengths of the local community. We believe that everyone has something to offer and something they care about. By doing things together it helps us to understand each other and turns strangers into friends.
